In my learning queue (I have only 6 fully learnt at this point) are John 1-6:25, Matthew 1-3, Mark 1-3, Luke 14 and some other portions of Luke, Acts 1-2, Romans 1-10:4, Philippians 1-4, Galatians 1-4, Ephesians 1, Hebrews 1-3, 1 John 1-2, 3 John, Revelation 1, parts of the OT ...
I'm trying to discipline myself to not add any new verses, but rather perfecting the ones already in my learning queue. For the rest of the Bible, I like to listen using mp3s on my phone :)
I was trying to say, onfire247, that it's possible that one of those users you mentioned (though I can't say for sure) used to have more verses which they were reviewing, which perhaps they put on a "stop learning" status, perhaps to shorten their queue. That would cause their number of verses which they are currently learning to be reduced. But they still would keep the points for those verses which they have just stopped.
I can answer that in part. People get points for reviewing verses in their queues. I can't speak about others, but with respect to myself, I used to have a lot more verses in my queue, than I do now -- but I reset everything and decided to focus on a much smaller number of verses back in October 2019. Hence, I've got a lot of points, but only 5 finished. Resetting my verses didn't result in my losing any points.
Users also get point bonuses for various badges of course, and also, whenever a verse becomes fully learnt, there's also an extra bonus for that one verse that kicks in. There's also an extra bonus when reviewing whenever you get 100% correct.
Well ... I started here in 2015. During the first few years I got some verses to a "fully learnt" status but then I reset everything and started again back in October 2019. So ... more recently the first verse was Romans 8:28, and that was early this month.
I don't recommend resetting, however. I regret it a bit now. Because I'd like so much to work on some other parts of the Bible. But now I'm determined to faithfully move along those verses which are part of my Review queue until someday when ... I can safely add a lot more :) It's gonna take years.
